Harlequin Shrimp Claw Damage

[pREEFERed]

Was able to get a closer look at the little guy's claws would this be an injury due to another member of the tank or is this something else?

I'm not sure what would have caused that, though mal-nutrition comes to mind first considering the species and their dietary needs. I'm not sure what you would do about this at all.

i just fed them a large star (i feed them every 2 wks) and they immediately went for it, so at least i know it still has an appetite... will cross my fingers

It will come back after a molt or two. It could have been physical damage from a number of causes or it could have been a bad molt. Either way it will regrow.

I had one that was missing a claw that I got from a club member when he was breaking down his system. His claw grew back with the next molt. I think that you should be fine.
